Severn Wye Energy Agency
South Gloucestershire
Renewable Energy Advice Service
The Partnership
SG Futurenergy is a partnership between South Gloucestershire Council and Severn Wye Energy Agency. It provides an advice service to help householders find out if domestic renewable energy is a good option for them, decide on the most suitable technology, and offers grant support to make installation more cost effective. Grant availability has just been extended past March 2010, with grants being valid for 3 or 6 months after approval, depending on technology (extensions may be granted in some circumstances).
The scheme offers:
- Free and independent renewable energy advice: call 01452 835087
- A grant of £500 towards the cost of the technology and installation (which can be claimed in addition to national grants)
- On application, a subsidised 3% fixed rate loan of up to £3,500 for a period of 5 to 10 years, subject to terms and conditions
- A contact list of local installers (updated 28 Jan) who are accredited by the national MCS scheme, have public liability insurance and are signed up to the Renewable Energy Association (REAL) customer code of conduct
- Ongoing support to help you through all stages of installing a renewable energy system.
Low-interest Loans
Renewable energy loans are offered separately, under a joint scheme with Wessex Home
Improvement Loans. The loan rates are subsidised by the council, and various payment options
are available.
